Hey Brother - Avicii

The Experience:Hey Brother's meaning alternates back and forth between pledges to his family -Brother, I will hear your call. and promises to his girl - Sister, for you, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do.

The Hey Brother Official Video It reveals true brotherhood: companions for life, companions in battle and danger... companions beyond the grave.

My Take:Thanks to Avicii for a song about family and love. Often, singers just focus on their love life. But family is important, blood is thicker than water. Sometimes we realize that too late. There's an extra meaning you can read in Hey Brother, words intended for everyone, believing we are all brothers and sisters of some worldwide family: believe in one another, believe in love.

Ask Yourself:When was the last time I thanked someone in my family?

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]Baby, everyday in training to get the goldThat’s why your body’s crazyBut you can’t run from yourself, that’s where it’s difficultGirl I can see in your eyes that there’s something inside that made you evilWhere did you go, ’cause it just ain’t fairOver here thinking ’bout the sh-t you sayDon’t know why it gets to me

[Bridge]It cuts right on my eye, yeah it hurt, won’t lieStill can’t see, think I saw you with another guyCan’t fight, knocked down, then I got over youCan’t fight no more, you knock me outWhat am I supposed to do?

[Chorus]I don’t understand itTell me how could you be so lowBeen swinging after the bell and after all of the whistle blowsTried to go below the belt, through my chest, perfect hit ’til the dawn, dammit babeThis ain’t the girl I used to knowNo, not anymore, TKO

[Verse 2]Baby, now I really know what we’re fighting forThis rematch sex is amazingBut nobody wins when if somebody’s heart is slow‘Cause when I see you move like you got something inside that made you lethalWhere did you go, ‘it just ain’t fairOver here thinking ’bout the sh-t you doDon’t know what I got to lose

[Bridge]It cuts right on my eye, yeah it hurt, won’t lieStill can’t see, think I saw you with another guyCan’t fight, knocked down, then I got over youCan’t fight no more, you knock me outWhat am I supposed to do?
